Because painting armor is historical? The polished bare steel finish is a Victorian revision of aesthetic expectations.
You'd be logging around stolen, mismatched and scrapped off looted trash if it wasn't finished with dark opaque hues, and painted over or covered in other decoration, sometimes textiles.
I'm not even talking about 16th century armor, it still was the norm, but it goes back way further.
Its not just the japs that did it, everyone did. None of the shiny polished suits held by the British royal museum, and other nations, were originally shiny and polished, lots of them we straight up have contemporary relates of their colors, varnish and other forms of finish.
